Reolink OMVI 3i WiFi review: The smart AI home security camera that sees almost everything

Reolink OMVI 3i WiFi test and review.

When you're in the market for the best security camera, you need to choose a model that is reasonably easy to install, not too overly complex to use, efficient at triggering events when an intruder enters your property and, above all, is equipped with a high-quality camera sensor and lens that can preferably handle a minimum of 2K resolution. Any thing less and chances are that identification may be impossible to prove, especially if the suspect has been captured from a distance.

I've reviewed many home security cameras over the years and I think that the dual-lensed panoramic Reolink OMVI 3i WiFi I'm reviewing today produces some of the sharpest footage I've seen to date. Comprised of a unique wide-angle panoramic camera that covers the full breadth of a property and a second 350˚ PTZ (pan, tilt, and zoom) 4K camera that delivers exceptional close-up imagery, this wired model is an ideal option for first timers looking to increase their home security without the extra cost of having to employ the services of an electrician. However, there are one or two caveats you need to know about.
